The Michigan Court of Appeals says the state of Michigan has completed reviewing the Detroit primary ballots in question and is now allowed to certify the election results.

The Michigan Attorney General, working on behalf of the State Board of Canvassers, filed an appeal Friday to overturn an Ingham County judge's stay on the state's review and certification of the Detroit primary election.

Etta Wilcoxon, a candidate for Detroit city clerk, filed the lawsuit which claims the board violated the state constitution when they began their process of reviewing the write-in votes.

However, the appeals court says the lawsuit is a moot point because the state already reviewed the votes in question. The State Board of Canvassers can now move forward and certify the election results before a 10-day deadline expires. They will do that on Tuesday.
